Worms??

[ChicknThief]

My LT Brahma just had a big, yellow, foamy poop. I did a search but didn't find anything helpful. I am sure I have read threads on this, but I just couldn't find them. From what I remember this means she has worms, right?

I came here for info on worms too! I just found one of my day olds with something in it's mouth playing keep away! I thought it was a toe, but it was wormy like...

HELP!

yes...could be worms.

could also be CRD, or even E-coli.

best to have a fecal test done to check for worms, and what kind.
if you are able to have a bacteria test done, that would be good.
do you have a worming med?

as to "SweetLilRachy00"...check all droppings for worms.
any possibility it's a maggot?
check mouths and throats ..
are the chicks in a brooder?
check feed (in brooder/feeder/waterer, and bag)
clean up any spilled or wet feed.

Foamy yellow usually is worms.

Water and Food was fresh, I haven't seen anymore. It was odd. I went in the chat room and someone said maybe it was a mealworm or something, But it wouldn't have come back out whole would it?

What do I do if I see another? It's hard to figure out which one did it, there are 23 chicks! (They are in a brooder, a couple days old still)
